Campuses rarely grow with matching rooms: one block has a raked auditorium, another a flat seminar room, the new wing slopes gently toward the screen. Omnia Evolution answers all four geometries — flat, curved, stepped and sloping floors — with a single integrated system of desks and seats, so the institution standardises one specification instead of juggling four suppliers.
Ares Line builds the system around a vertical structure that adjusts to each step height, three seat versions and writing tablets from fixed to anti-panic. Designed by BaccoliniDesign, it equips the Politecnico di Milano, City University College in Doha and corporate academies like Salvagnini's — the same rows work for degree courses and executive training alike.
La Mercanti coordinates Italian contract projects for institutions across India and the Gulf: share the floor plans of your halls and we return one coherent configuration, checked with the manufacturer.
